Description
This infographic describes monotropic flooding, a concept I am exploring to describe my own experience and that of other monotropic people. It says that when a monotropic person's attention channel gets more input than it has capacity to manage, it becomes flooded, which can lead to sensory and social overwhelm such as meltdown, shutdown or freeze. A figure struggling in rough water illustrates it. It is offered for discussion, based on personal experience and thoughts.
